Now reading and actually getting into the story IMO after the former one.
Pocket verse Superboy's death was pretty cool

Cap's Marvel death in the MU

Most of this deaths while might not look very brutal are are very iconic if you have followed those series, but like Digi said:

The OP says iconic. Therefore, we have a somewhat objective measure by which to judge.Superman, Barry, and Mar-vell are the only ones that truly lived on in the consciousness of fans. Hell, Superman's death made the news. Like, they talked about it in local newspapers across the country. In terms of transcending the medium, it's hard to top that.
So: Superman >>>>>>>> Barry/Mar-vell >>>>>>>>>>> Supergirl (for the pose) > everyone else.
There have been a lot of memorable deaths. But none scratch the surface of those I listed. Cap in Earth X is a personal favorite (Cap in 616 was a joke). But even that is far too niche to be considered iconic.
Robin's death also transcended to other medias

Yeah, because the vin smilie clearly implied you thought you weren't ruining anything for anyone.
W/e. Just realize the careful ground that treads on. I mean, it takes all of about 5 seconds to type in the spoiler tags, if nothing else.

It's just nature at this point

Need the whole scene to give it a little more context, though:
